Brain Health Devices Global Market Report 2026

Brain health devices are technologies designed to monitor, evaluate, or support brain activity, cognitive performance, and mental wellness. They may include wearable brainwave monitors and neurostimulation systems that help manage conditions such as depression or epilepsy, assist in early detection of neurological disorders, and support cognitive improvement through training and biofeedback.

The primary device categories in the brain health devices market include magnetic resonance imaging, magnetoencephalogram, computed tomography, transcranial Doppler devices, and others. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging method that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of the brain's anatomy. The procedures include both invasive and non-invasive approaches, with applications covering sleep disorders, accidental injuries, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, stroke, and others. The end users include hospitals and clinics, diagnostic imaging centers, homecare environments, assisted living facilities, and others.

Tariffs are impacting the brain health devices market by increasing the cost of imported neuroimaging equipment, wearable headsets, and neurostimulation devices. Segments such as fMRI systems, MEG devices, and portable EEG units are most impacted, with regions like Asia-Pacific and Europe facing higher import duties. This has resulted in higher procurement costs and supply chain adjustments. Positively, tariffs have encouraged local manufacturing, innovation in device miniaturization, and increased domestic investment in brain health technologies.

This brain health devices market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The brain health devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.9 billion in 2025 to $12.79 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of advanced neuroimaging devices, growing prevalence of neurological disorders, increasing hospital and clinic infrastructure, reliance on conventional diagnostic procedures, awareness of cognitive health management.

The brain health devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.84 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in wearable brain health devices, integration with ai and machine learning algorithms, rising adoption of telehealth and remote monitoring, increasing government and private funding for neurotechnology, development of portable and cost-effective brain health solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of non-invasive brain monitoring devices, rising focus on early detection of neurological disorders, integration of wearable cognitive tracking devices, increasing demand for home-based brain health solutions, expansion of brain training and neurostimulation applications.

The increasing prevalence of neurological disorders is anticipated to support the expansion of the brain health devices market going forward. Neurological disorders are medical conditions that affect the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, resulting in various cognitive, motor, and sensory impairments. The growing prevalence of neurological disorders is primarily influenced by an aging population and the rising incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. In addition, environmental and lifestyle factors, along with advances in diagnostic technologies and genetic predispositions, contribute to the increasing number of reported cases. Brain health devices help monitor brain activity and deliver targeted therapies to manage symptoms, enhance cognitive performance, and improve patient outcomes. For example, in January 2025, according to the European Brain Council, a Belgium-based non-profit organization, approximately 7 million people in Europe were living with Alzheimer's disease, with projections indicating this number could rise to nearly 14 million by 2030. As a result, the growing prevalence of neurological disorders is contributing significantly to the expansion of the brain health devices market.

Leading companies operating in the brain health monitoring market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as passive smartphone-based monitoring platforms, to continuously track cognitive and motor function changes without requiring active patient participation or wearable devices. Passive smartphone-based monitoring leverages routine keyboard interactions, motion data, and device usage patterns to unobtrusively generate clinically relevant neurological insights. For example, in May 2025, Neurocast, a Netherlands-based provider of digital health and brain health monitoring solutions, launched its FDA-registered Neurocast platform in the US. The platform analyzes everyday smartphone interactions, including keystrokes, motion patterns, and usage behaviors, to identify subtle neurological changes, enabling early detection of cognitive or motor decline in patients with conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, ADHD, and depression. Key features of the Neurocast platform include continuous data collection through routine phone use, a privacy-focused design requiring no active input or wearables, GDPR compliance, ISO 27001 certification, and real-world clinical validation across European studies involving hundreds of patients. This launch enables US healthcare providers to access scalable, unobtrusive, and data-driven insights for proactive brain health management, representing a significant milestone in remote neurological care.

In March 2024, Linus Health Inc., a US-based software company, acquired Aural Analytics Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances Linus Health's cognitive assessment platform by incorporating advanced speech analytics to enable more accurate identification of cognitive impairments. The integration expands the tools available to clinicians and researchers while increasing Linus Health's presence within the life sciences sector. Aural Analytics Inc. is a US-based healthcare company specializing in brain health analytics solutions.
